Help with lung cancer diagnosis

My nan had been coughing up blood for a few months. She recently had an X Ray which showed a shadow on her lung. She has also had a CT but has not been told the results of these. She has been referred to a respiratory clinic and we can't help but wonder whether anyone else has been through this and then been diagnosed with lung cancer? Would they refer to a resp clinic or would it be to a cancer ward instead?

  • As an update to this, in case anyone comes across. My nan did have lung cancer and they diagnosed her by a letter that said “likely cancer” we was left guessing as to whether or not she has cancer for just under a year. She went into hospital around 7 months after being told she had likely cancer and was told it had spread and she had 3-6 months left to live. She didn’t get offered treatment due to being fragile but in the end only lived 6 weeks following the news it had spread.
